Its relatively inexpesnive at approx $40.00. Instead of transmitting wirelessly through the air or through the tape deck (if you have one), it attaches from the XM unit to the deck via the antenna jack located on the back of the radio unit. The XM direct connect kit is very different from the Sirius kit. Still, you have to tune in to a radio frequency, but the signal is much clearer and stronger. It does not give you control of your satellite unit through the steering wheel controls.
